While deploying monitoring-ng, I encountered a secret name that was too long (>64 characters). According to R015, secret names should not be longer than 12 characters, but e.g. grafana_oidc_client_secret is longer.

I've tried using the domain m.gathering.org instead of monitoring.gathering.org. This shortens the secret name enough for deployment, but some dashboards hard-code the monitoring part of the domain name.

Can we shorten the longest secret names?

Tried leaving out the long secret with -C, but also some of the config names end up being too long: ${STACK_NAME}g_traefik_dashboard_json${GRAFANA_TRAEFIK_DASHBOARD_JSON_VERSION}

Would it manually setting STACK_NAME to something shorter be an option, or is that too much integrated everywhere?
